Thanks Pete & Jeff.

After hitting a road block trying to put together a complete Crofts Cocoa backed E92 set, I started branching out into collecting Crofts Cocoa miscuts/freak prints of which there are many as you've stated.

Hmmm. Focus. Here, there, everywhere and then some. This is not extensive:

T205 Cubs front/ backs……missing only the 2 Hindu backs
T207 Cubs front/ backs missing a few Napoleon backs
T210 Jacksonville Jays missing only DeFraites
E121-80 and E121-120 Giants and Yankees….my 1921 World Series set
S74 Cubs different backs
Elmer Miller cards/ memorabilia as he was my great great uncle

Right now it would autos, mostly due to the PSA prices and time getting cards back - have had better luck with PSA/DNA the last few years

Brian, I was hoping to see some W504 cards, especially Wash. Senators, from your "very-focused" collection!

At your request and not exhaustive:

I collect pre-war or new sports cards of athletes in any sport with their first or last name of Hogan. Except Hulk Hogan. He's an idiot.

Brian, many thanks for showing your W504 Senators cards. For those not familiar with the W504 set, the Senators are by far the toughest to find of the 4 teams represented (Dodgers, Giants & Yankees are the other teams). As recently as 2011, the Standard Catalog of Vintage BB Cards showed 6 of the 16 numbered cards in the Senators subset as being unknown, and it also erroneously showed 2 players with having 2 different numbered cards. Currently, the Old Cardboard checklist shows that 3 of the 16 card numbers remain unknown. If anyone has examples of any of these 3 cards, #150, #157, & #162, please share this info. One of these 3 is reportedly Bucky Harris, but the card # is not known. IMO, the other 2 unknown cards are likely to be of Stanley Coveleskie and Tom Zachary.
